Jul 29, 2009 Black, ruby red colored brew. Sour aroma. Sour, apple, very intense sourness, and very longlasting. Enjoyable, but hard to drink.

Jul 27, 2009 22 oz, wish i could of tried the original 750ml version. This was Ok, a bit expensive for what it was. Dark cola color with some cola flavors. sourness was light with medium to light texture and complexity. Could see improvement with 6 months of bottle age but not much. Fun to try and was similar to the draft version sampled a month or so prior at downtown johnny browns in SD.

Jul 26, 2009 On tap at Bailey’s in Portland. Pours a nice light burgundy brown with cream head that lasts. Wonderful sour cherry, vanilla, raisin, and caramel aroma. Sharp cherry tartness up front, then a touch of sweetness, then an incredibly sour grapefruit finish. Medium bodied with silky smooth mouthfeel. Simply one of the best beers I’ve every tasted.

Jul 23, 2009 22oz. Pour is a ruby/brown with a fizzy off white head. Aromas of tart funk, citrus fruit, and vinegar acidity. Flavor is puckering with sour funk, tart cherries, and a nice oak finish. This was so damn good I wanted to drink the bottle by myself.
Strykzone (1458), Wood River, Illinois, USA
Jul 21, 2009 On tap at Bigelo’s. Rarely is this a favored style of mine. Pours a dark brown with a half finger tan head. Aroma is vinegar and it was difficult to get past that. Flavor began with that vinegar but soon added some very nice complex fruit notes. Dark cherry, plum, apricot. Quite nice, really.

Jul 20, 2009 750 mL bottle shared at Immy’s Backyard Throwdown and originally purchased at Liquor Mart in Boulder, CO (July 2008 vintage, bottle 4822). Reddish-brown pour with a thin head. Wonderful sour aroma. Sour vinegar and cherry taste balanced with a nice oak character. This is fantastic. One of the best sours I have ever tried.

Jul 19, 2009 Bottle at the Cuvee de Castleton release at Captain Lawrence. This one was from the Lips of Faith version. Pours a clear brown with a thin beige head. Touch of brett, acid, and a little bit of lemon. Huge sour acidity. Most sour thing I had all day out of over 30 beers (though probably only 6-7 sours.) Finish is tangy, with some wood and fruit… and almost an aftertaste of PEZ. Very well done.

Jul 17, 2009 Tap. Brown look. Aroma smells like red wine with vinegar and fruity notes. Bittersweet taste.
